The UK may have a monarchy, but the have zero actual political or governing power.

90% of the world's media is controlled by one of 6 corporations, and only one of them has notable British ties, that being the companies associated with Robert Maxwell.

Any swearing of oaths or fealty are for show these days; us brits do do tradition quite well.

Do not think for a moment simply because we have a royal family that they have anything to do with how the country is run. They are figure heads, mainly there to bring in dumb yank tourists who flock in their droves to get a glimpse of them.
